Not an Apple user, but vendors use what connectors they will and it never was a problem until now, when it's a big emergency to micromanage.
Especially, given that the Lightning connector has been in use since 2012.
Fine, abandon the entire market, rather than slavishly change your entire product lineup's design and be forced into a licensing agreement against your will. 100% embargo of Apple products, anyone violates it gets nailed on licensing violations.
Although, I do wonder how much it cost the USB consortium to get this shoved through...
Removing all ports, thereby lowering efficiency in charging, as obviously the speaker feels that energy production has plenty of excess capacity! Gotta love when someone that is ignorant of technical limitations reports on technology and licensing.
So, if there's a new USB per year, that won't generate the waste that they complained about. Yeah, paid off.
